to make such disposal by will the
trust portion OF her fathers estate was
to go to the children of his Two sisters,
and the trust portion Of her mothers
estate was TO go to the L0rillard
branch OF The fnnily.a II is believed
that Miss Wolfe's charitable desires
led her to avail herself OF her right
to dispose by viii Of the bulk of the
combined fortunes, and as there are
no relatives who can be helped by
requests it is said that the bulk Of
the fortune will be devoted to public
purposes.
Miss Wolfe was a most quiet and
u~nassuming person mid had no ecceu-
tricities OF habil or character. Her
friends knew her as q refined lady.
She was a~pproachabIe and cou!d be
easily influenced TO charity by friemIs,
although frequent mi<steps made her
cautious of late years. She used to
say she did not care how much money
she gave away if she could feel it. was

ed her large income as in one sense "a
trust, which she was rcady TO distri.
butte for The elevation of those whom
the money might reach. It annoyed
her excessively, however, when she
had reason To think that any OF her
b"refactions had been unworthily
applied.
Her h"bi's were sociabIe, and she
enjoyed nothing so we'll as to have her
home filled with friends. She was
rarely without guests, Until the
Summer Of 1886 she enjoyed fair
health, Il wassupom her return from

three gifts alone have involved an
outlay Within a single year of certainly
not ess than $25O,O0O. No n but
heraccoun,ant and herself know how
much else she gave away in the same
period. 81 eaaII
II This period vas not exceptional.
She would spend a small fortune at
one stroke of her pen if she thought
il necessary to accomplish q worthy
object. Once she became interested
in establishing a home for incurables,
Without delay she bought ID acres ut
Ferdham. which had been the home
stead of Jacob Lorillard-an expen-
sivef piece Of prof erty-and turned it
over 10 the Trustees Of the present
home. IN connection with her educa-
tional gifts she has transferred 10 n
OF the colleges a permanent fund. the
income of which is TO be applied to
the education of young men Sc.
lected by the President of the
college with special reference to their
supposed aptitude for mission work in
the South. A home for consumptlves
has, been one of the objects of her spe.
cial favor. She was Il contributor in
various rmount<, indeed, for a series
of years to the majority Of the better
known charities of the city.
One of her gifts that will be always
valued highly for its lasting influence
for good upon mulli,udes of people is
the collection Of shells and the libra
~ on c~onchoIcgy at the American
Museum of Natural History. Both
the collection and the library are rare
and valuable. Miss Wolfe gave them
to The museum as a memorial to her
father, who was the first President of
the museum. With the gift as she
made it she provided also r>>further
collections Of shells anil of valuable
books. Thnt has been going on ever
since. She vas quite proud of This
gift, and visited tne museum often
when in health to see what could be
done to improve it. Another of her
benefactions outside the church was
the. Newsboys' Lodging House, u
splendid home for east side boys at
the corner of East Broadway and
Gopverneur-strert.
Her pride in Grace Church, which
she attended, led her into lavish ex.
penditures to add to its attractiveness.
Tbe, -y,estrFy room, which is a gem Of
its kind, was built by her. When
the. new steeple was talked about
and $4,000 was yet needed for
it,sLe. sent in u check for that
amount. A handsome memorial win
dow in the church was put in by her
self. She was very, generous in her
endowment of The mission chnrch, ON
West Fourteenth street, and when it
was completed she set aside two
buildings, in the rear, on Thirteenth
street, the rents Of which have since
been devoted, TO the maintenance of
the church. Tie new American Pro-
testant Episcopal Church in Paris
always interested her, as it was re-

adornment Of. her home. Rare and
beautiful paintings are scattered over
the houses al M adison-square and at
Newport. John Wolfe, her uncle,
was Of great assistance 10 her in buy
ing pictures, rs he was an excellent
amateur judge, and she followed i'm
p%licitly his advice when it was avail
able. Her own Judgment was also
of no mean order, and while she usu-
ally deferred to experts during her
visits abroad, she was generally COR
rect in her unaided estimate of arts
tic merit. Her uncle was the owner
of Bouguereau's "N,mphs and Satyr"
which Edward S. Stokes bought for
the Hoffman House at the sale of the
Wolfe collection at Chickering HALL.
He owned also the we'll known pic
uure Of figures in u swing, which has
been reprinted in various forms.
After his death Miss Wolfe's pur-
chases were discontinued. She had
already spent more than $500,OOO in
pictures, and owm'd works Of the
leading artists OF the world.

age of 2, was very fond of playing with
the articles upon mammals dressing

One day she was absent in the bed

but after period of inward conflict
the little one remarked: "There was

Cathie, over fifty years ago, was busy
at her stint of patchwork, after the
manner of Agar olds of the day. She
had bad habit of putting her thread
in her mouth, and had been promised
a pair of spatted hands for the next
offense. The moments passed until the
child could bear the deception no
longer, and began a sweet little inn

THE SOUTHERN STATES.

The Prohibitlonists have been defeated at
Atlanta, Ga. by a majority of LIZA The
campaign is said to have been the most excit-
ing one in the history of the State There
are sixteen precincts in the county, of which
six are in Atlanta The ants carried every

county. In the election two years ago the
prohibitionsts carried the county by 500 and
the ants the city by 300, leaving 200 majority
for the prohibitionists This is now reversed
by the ants carrying the county by 800 and
the city by 800. An Atlanta telegram says of
the election:
The lunch rooms run under the auspices OF
the prohibition ladies were crowded all day,
and good lunches were furnished the men who
worked at the polls. A band of little girls wear
ing blue badges marched up to tn court house
and sang several hymns. Quite a sensation was
caused by their appearance At early dawn
bands OF women stationed themselves at the six
polls at which the people Were to vote upon
the question OF the sale OF liquor. AS
the first ballots began falling into
the boxes, the women began singing familiar
Methodist hymns. All day long the most re-
markable scenes were enacted. White women
engaged in conversation with negroes whom
they had never seen before, urging them to
deposit their ballots against whisky. At one
precinct was gathered a representative bevy OF
women. Ono girl. chubby-faced blonde,
and blue-eyed, stood leaning against a

stood huge black man with his back against

patting him on the breast ard begging him TO

The General Master workman Addresses
Himself to knights Who Talk seces-

The Journal Of United Labor of Phiadel-
phia prints another long letter from I. "

which he says:
From an organization numbering less than
ten Thousand members whom the first general

OF Labor grow until over seven hundred thou
sand men and women claimed membership at
one time While that vast industrial array
was being gathered together, while the
pioneers were making sacrifices that
the order might live in history a power for
good. Men good and true we're blackmatled

the trials, the dangers, and the odds against
which they will have to contend and feel
that the amount OF energy necessary TO build
up a new order, II properly applied 70
the old one, would mako it invincible.
1t is true that in the old organization all who
aspire cannot be officers; all who pull wires
cannot succeed In getting position; but 1t is
equally true that IL they secede and IL they
succeed in building up new order they only
make it possible for other men to pull wires
and aspire TO the place which they continually
hope to secure for themselves. II in the new
order they succeed better than in the old one
and secure offices, they do so only to find ut

stop at nothing mean or low to compass their
ends.
